in order to save the cause from irre
trievable ruin. We would rather
have avoided this, if it had been pos
sible. We ;have kept these things in
the background, rather than run the
risk•of crippling the :Ratite. administra
'tion, or driving it boldly into the ern•
braces of the enemy, to which we
feared 'its tendencies were overstrout ,
already. We thought it wise to make
-the best-of a bad bargain, so long as
we could not help ourselves.—When
the earns trmn was, however, present,-
, ed anew, as a candidate for a second
'Orin - it becomes our duty to speak
Out before WO mischief was ennoted,
and we have done so in language as
moderate as' the facts hear. And
yet even then, we would have-rather
waived our objections, if it had been
'possible, and taken the weakest man,
and the 'wickedest of oar enemies,
- than run the risk of disturbing the
harmony of the party, at such a time.
It'was clear to us, however, that with
- such a 'candidate, IT WAS INIPOS
SIBLE FOR US TO SUCCEED.—
We should be beaten, at any rate—as
our past experience has demonstrated
- -and as it could not make the mat
ter worse, it was worth at least the
trouble to prevent it.
' And now we ask the members of
the Convention to tell us calmly,
whether, with the facts before_ them,
as we haVe them 'to be, there is con
stituency in Pennsylvania, that would
have recommended or instructed fur
him—and whether these facts depend
ing niainlY upon the record, and in
co.nttOtivertably of bourse,, can be now
successfully concealed from them ?
We ask them again, who there are
among the eminent speakers of this State,
who enjoy the confidence of the people,
that will venture to meet these issues, with
-the very record to confound them We
do not know a man, of any position or
force, in this county, at all events,
•who would not feel himself personally
compromised, by undertaking a labor se
herculean as this.
The question then comes at last, wheth
er there are any of the delegates inclined
to the support of Curtin, who would con
sider a triumph now, as more important
than a triumph at the election, and a still
cient compensation fora deleat at that
time—or would be willing to stake the re
sult -upon a doubt ? If it be true,as charged,
that he insists on playing the part of the
dog in the manger, and sacrifice the party,
•at which, it is said he claims to be the
builder, to himself, is there any man in the
Convention who will allow himself to be
used for such a purpose ? What is to be
gained by it for the advantage of anybody
but the rebels and their Northern sympa
thizers ?
We have stated more than once—and
we cannot repeat it too often—that
whatever may be the opinion of the Con
vention, and whether right or wrong, the
feeling against Governor Curtin in this
county at least—growing out of his own
acts and policy—is so strong that we
could no more control it even if we were
so disposed, than we could stem the tor
rent of the Niagara with our hands. We
might ruin ourselves by advocating his
election, but we couldn't help him. It is
not we who are responsible foe the ex
istence or origin of that feeling. We re
ilect`it only, and have but thrown our
Selves into the current, which was flowing
as rapidly before we undertook to fathom
or direct it.
There were good men here who doubt
ed in 1860, whether he could be trusted,
and refused to vote for him and yet this
county gave him a majority of about 6400
votes. Less than a month afterward it
gave Lincoln 10,000. With, a stronger
man than Curtin there should have been
8 000 at least. With an unexceptional
candidate now we are strong as ever—
With Gov. Curtin, we doubt whether it
could be carried at all, and those who re
flect that his conduct at the season of 1861.
brought in a Democrat even here, at the
election which follotred will realize the
mischief that such'a nominatoin may inflict.
It is not this county only, however, in
which it is important to make the ma:-
chine run smooth. There will be like
difficulties elsewhere, and particularly in
those counties where the strength of the
Republican party lies. If he should be
nominated, it will not be by the votes of
those districts, which will be expected to
elect him. It will be counties like Berks
we suppose, that are to be cast as make
weights into the scale. Would it not
become, them to reflect, that if they want
as to do the work they must put us into
a condition to run without weights? Are
not the prejudices of our people—.if they
choose to call them so—to be'consulted
If they can find a man who is free from
objection—and we are in a bad condition,
indeed, if they cannot—what is their duty
as men—as patriots—as lovers of their
country! How can they excuse themselves
for insisting—from mere pride of self will
—on one of the opposite kind,, who is
known.to be unpalatable to any respectable
section of the party! We shall guage
their patriotism by the way in which they
deal with the difficulty. With men of
heroic stamp—men suited to the times—
it can prove no serious difficulty at all.
Died of .Draft Fright—E. Knapp Per
ry, of Pottersville, Warren, county, died
at the U. S. Hotel, in Plattsburg, last
week. He, was drafted from his place of
residence; and 'visited Plattsburg for the
purpose of exemption. He was about con
summating a marriage engagement, and
the .intelligence of his being drafted so
affected his affianced as to cause her seri
ous illness. This so worked upon Mr.
P.'s mind as to terminate in fearful de
rangement and death. Deceased was
twenty-five years of age, was a medical
student of rare attainments.
Fatal Accident. —Henry Mesenbach,
a dralied. man, was instantly killed on
Thursday morning, near the old depot,
while trying to get on the cars while in
motion. He had just returned from Lan
caster whither he had gone to get money
to pay for his exemption, and not having
enough, he was on his way to Marietta,
to procure the balance, - some $27. He
was killed almost in sight of hisisown resi
dence. He leaves a wife and three small
children in rather destitute circumstances,
who deserve the attention of the charita

...a I
piir Soma of the AlYollitiogi newspa
pers are discussing the importance of
compelling, by war i .all the States to
conform to the same •social institu

idea, and would be as intolcrent to
day a,s 200 years ago. But they can't
come it.
giie The "Union County Com
mittee" "Geo. Hoffman, Sect'y,"
published an address "to the voters
of Lebanon county," in the aboli
tion papers, last week, We hope
that that committee will continue
to issue an address every week un
til the election. It has a wonder
ful influence, especially in convinc
ing the people of the truth of its
assertions. After stating that the
Democrats are extremely busy, it
urges upon the abolitionists to be
also busy, and recommends thein
to tell the country people 'that we
[the abolitionists] are the REAL
PEACE PARTY !" Do they im
agine that there is any body in the
length or breadth of Lebanon
county, ivhether "country people"
or others, who will believe such
stuff? Ilave they not been threat
ening Democrats for the past two
years with banging and every oth
er kind of injury to person and
property for even alluding to peace?
Now they have the brazen assur
ance to . tell the people, the "coun
try people," that they are the "real
peace party !" TIN "country peo
ple" cannot be humbugged with
such a "change of base."
t€ 2... The Courier has a severe
article on "Miner's Wages." It
says that they reach from $l5O to
$2OO per month, and that the cry
is still for more, and that "labor is
King and sways the scepter with a
despotism that reaches every con
sumer of coal throughout the land."
'lt admits that this is owing to the
scarcity of labor. And yet, the
expectation is that some three or
four thousand men will be drafted
from this very class of men within
a week or two, in the coal regions
of our State, and the Courier is in
favor of it, so that the "war-may
be prosecuted vigorously" to set
the niggers free. Consumers.now;
pay $G to $7 per ton for Coal. If
the miners are reduced one-half by
the draft we may expect to pay
$2O per ton next winter. How are.
the poor to obtain a supply to keep
themselves and children from freez
ing. The people should consider
all iheie things When they go to
vote next October. When the
Courier talks of . "supply and - de-.
mand" it should finish the subject.
When the opposition party say
that they are the "real peace piity"
they should practice their profes
sions. The truth is there will be
no end to the war during Old Abe's ;
administration unless. the Green
back printing machines break and
all the makers of them skedaddle
or die so that they can't be repair
ed. There is still too much mon-,
ey a "vigorous prosecution of
the war !"
Kr A friend writing from Cen
tre County, Pa., the home of Gov
ernor Curtin, tells us that that
county will give 1100 majority for
Woodward. It gave 450 for Cur
tin three years ago.
WHAT THEN
"The suppression of the Rebel-ii
lion rt any and every sacrifice," is
one fit the Buncombe patriotic
'watchwords of the opposition.—
:Suppose every sacrifice has teen
Image ; suppose we are impover
iShed by debt; the manhood of
the nation slaughtered or suffering
'in the hospitals of the land ; their
wives and children begging along
the streets, or .received stinted
.charity in the county alms houses;
suppose all these, sacrifices made
and still the Rebellion not sup
pressed—WHAT THEN !
When the . "last man and the
last dollar" is. gone in the efforts
for the suppression of the Rebel
lion, and the thing should not be
accomplished, what do the "loyal
ists" propose to do then?
When every nigger is set free
and prowling over - the larrd like
hyenas, and every poor white man
a slave, and the Rebellion still not
suppressed, what is to be done
then?
Such •serprsoless talk as the ex
pression we have quoted is just
about equal to the senseless acts-of
the Washington administration.—
The Rebellion would have been
suppressed fifty times m the last
two years; it would never haVe
taken place, at least, it would never
have assumed the formidable pro
portions now wears, if there
were or had been any real desire
to 'end the war and preserve the
Union among the authorities at
Washington. Statesmanship and
wisdom will encl. the Rebellion
Nvithout "any and every sacrifice,"
and if it is , not "suppressed until
the sacrifices indicated are made,.
it will „never be suppressed. Nig
ger orders and Emancipation proc
lamations may do very well to
make the "highways and by-ways
of New England swarm with vol ,
unteers," but they are poor appli
ances to suppress . the Rebellion,
poor evidences of wisdom — and
statesmanship, poorer patriotism,
and not worth a. tythe of the sac
rifices .made for them under the
'guise of "suppressing the Rebel
lion."
air It is right and,proper that
the soldiers should be paid for
their services, and that well paid.
We have always , , contended that
their pay is small enough, bat at
the same time we do not approve
of the extravagance of the .service,
nor shall we beconsimined by any
consideration in speaking out and
fastening the blame wherever it
may belong of any. wrongs that
may-be committed either upon the
soldiers or those that really and
eventually pay them for their ser
vices..
.We have no fault to find - at all
with the payment of $3 a week to
the three months men ;just discharg
ed. It was little enough but we
do find fault with Gov. Curtin in
keeping them running about the
country weeks after the danger
which they had been called out
for, had entirely elssappeared, at a
great inconvenience to themselves
as well as the enormous expense it
entailed on the tax-payers of the
county. Our men 'from Lebanon
county were out 12 weeks at a cost
to the county of Lebanon of about
$12,000. At least two-thirds of
this. money might have been
saved •if Curtin had had them die
charged at the time the necessities
for their services had expired.
Many other counties of the State
are also depleted from the same
cause,—some snore and some leSs
than ours. The voters when they
go to vote for a Governor next fall
should remember that Curtin is re•
sponsible for the greater portion of
'this heavy expense to the cotinty.
We are glad to learn
. thrt they
are paid by the Government for
'their services, with which Curtin
had nothing to de.' The men that
were called out and taken to the
border a year ago, with the pay
ment of which Curtin has to do
are not paid yet, find probably will
remain unpaid until Woodward
is Governor and attends to their
case.
Ser Volunteering in the State of
Lew Jersey is progressing very brisk.
ly. About 5000 men have. been ob

tion was issued. Almost every town
ship in the. Stateis at work, and it
is expected that in a few days the
quota of New Jersey will be filled by
voluntary enlistments, thus doing,
away with the conscription. In
Pennsylvania and New York,. the
probabilities are that the draft might
also have been avoided by volunteer.

CONSCRIPTS• IN THE ARMY,
How They are Treated by the Volun
teer Soldiers
The,'Reapblican papers with cruel irony,
occasionally expatiate upon the "excellent
spirits" with which the poor conscript
marches, or is marched off to join the
army. It would be worth while to ascer
tain whether those spirits rise or fall, after
joining the army, and receiving such
treatment as the folloing, vouched for by
a Herald correspondent writing, from
General Meade's army:.

to consider the new corners legitimate prey,
and the. way, they enlighten the conscripts?
urititi tie matter of the aPPeara riea, size
and domestic habits of the war elephant
is vastly more exciting than agreeable to
the victims, and considerably more enter

The conscripts, of course, come into their
new service very much as our new militia
regiments used to go to the field—provided
with immaculate clothing and new outfit
complete, to which they have added the
pin cushions, needle-cases, and innumera
ble etceteras, which their anxious wives,
sisters and sweethearts had bestowed
with loving hands upon them. They do,
indeed, look nice in their new, toggery,
